Regina King in If Beale Street Could Talk (Annapurna Pictures) One of the most difficult categories to predict with a top two that are nearly equal in terms of likelihood. Regina King (If Beale Street Could Talk) has the Golden Globe and the Critics’ Choice but missed out on the two industry nominations from SAG and BAFTA. Rachel Weisz hit …

Bohemian Rhapsody (20th Century Fox) Like Supporting Actor, the frontrunner in Best Actor has also jumped hurdles and through hoops to avoid the pitfalls of his problematic film to come out largely unscathed. Back in the early fall there wasn’t much reason to think that Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody) would make too big a splash other than maybe having some …

Green Book (Universal) Arguably one of the most locked categories of the night is Supporting Actor. Unlike last year, this is the only acting category where the frontrunner has won all major precursors before Oscar night – the Golden Globe, Critics’ Choice, SAG and BAFTA. That is, of course, Mahershala Ali in Green Book. Ali is set to win his …

A Star Is Born The FavouriteIf Beale Street Could TalkBlack Panther Even with a group as unpredictable as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a group of just over 90 international journalists based in Los Angeles, it’s probably safe to say that A Star Is Born and The Favourite will probably do very well here.  That said, the Golden Globes are …

The last two years saw the Foreign Language Film Globe winner not nominated for the Oscar 80 films from 49 countries have qualified to be nominated by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) for the Foreign Language Film category at the 76th Golden Globe Awards.  The Golden Globes do things differently than the Oscars; primarily, they allow more than one …

“History is written by the victors” — Winston Churchill After a long delay in production due to the firing of Kevin Spacey for sexual misconduct allegations, the final season of the Emmy-winning House of Cards will finally hit the airwaves this fall, returning November 2nd. Golden Globe winner and Emmy Award nominee Robin Wright returns as President of the United …

The always venerable Meryl Streep finally vulnerable in an Oscar race? I feel like we have this discussion every other year. Will the Academy’s most-nominated actress finally fail to earn an Oscar nomination? Inevitably, every time we do we acquiesce to the fact that, yes, she’s getting nominated. Look at last year: Florence Foster Jenkins was a cute film and …

With the BAFTA nominations just announced this week, we now have the list of actors nominated for all four major precursors: Critics’ Choice, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and BAFTA. Being a combination of industry and critics’ groups, the combination of these four are about as secure as you can be as an actor in the hunt for an Oscar …

  The short answer? Yes. It’s happened quite a bit, actually. In all but three of the last 14 years we’ve had at least one name announced on Oscar nomination morning that didn’t land any major precursor, those precursors being Critics’ Choice, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and BAFTA. While we still have BAFTA to announce their nominations (January 9th) …

  It’s time for the annual Who Got What? list of performances that hit the major precursors: Screen Actors Guild (SAG), Golden Globe, BFCA and BAFTA. Inevitably, one or more of these folks that hit even all four is likely to miss out on an Oscar nomination in favor of a late-breaking performance with momentum or possibly voter fatigue. Last …
